    For 2 years on the trot I have been hosting a Christmas event in their private dining 'Tea Room'. There's an obvious reason for returning back this year. The Event team are more than helpful to begin with. As for the event itself, the food is incredible, the accommodation for dietary requirements with a vegan menu produced on request. The room is dressed beautifully and couldn't recommend them more. Special shout out to Natalie. If you're looking to book a Christmas event next year, let me know before you do so I can secure my date first!

    Loved this place! Great restaurant (Italian) across the street. Lobby bar is wonderful, service is great, rooms are quirky and fun. Our room had a round bed. Kinda, "what?" But the room layout worked with it and the two nights we spent were very peaceful. Will request that room again!

    This place is ok. Or room was not great and very small with wet carpet and a leaking shower. There is no lift. Breakfast was not great. For the price it was not worth it. Staff were great however.

    This was a fun hotel. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Rooms were tremendous, subtracting one star for the meals which were good, but not exceptional.

    Very quirky little boutique hotel in the centre of Chester. Stayed in room 16 which was a duplex with large bath at the foot of the bed. Nice room but the bathroom around is very tight! 2 people getting ready at the same time could be an issue. A few stains on the carpets hence not giving 5 stars but all in all we were happy with the room. We had a few drinks in the garden terrace area, which was nice. Could have done with a little background music as the atmosphere was quite dull without. Breakfast was included and could not be faulted , small continental buffet and choice of cooked options. Again , the breakfast room was super quiet making you feel awkward if you spoke as everyone else could hear. Any could have done with some back ground music to improve the atmosphere, but food was good! Perfect location to explore Chester for a weekend.

    The staff were really friendly. I asked them to put a Birthday banner and flowers in the room as it was. My wife's birthday, They were more than happy to do this and it made my wife happy.

    Lovely hotel with great possibilities. We were given an upgrade to a gorgeous room but found that the window above the bed was leaking and the bed soaking so were then down-graded to a disabled persons room which was very comfortable. By the time we had packed and moved again, we were late for meeting our friends and late for our restaurant booking. We had intended to have a cocktail during happy hour but missed it due to the room change which we pointed out. We did expect someone to suggest a drink on the house when we got back but this didn't happen. The room we ended up in was lesser than the one we had expected. Very disappointed for our anniversary treat.

    Didn't stay over but attended a wedding here, it was one of the best weddings I have been to. The staff were lovely, food was amazing. The rooms used for the weddings were unique and quirky. Overall fun atmosphere.

    Great location, Great hotel. we stayed in the attic of the old building room was nice but needs a little spruce up, new TV, new mini bar, lick of paint. Oh and mind your head on the bathroom roof. The bar and garden are brilliant.

    Great location for sightseeing. Overall, hotel good but a few areas could be improved upon. Service: poor at breakfast with young waitress who didn't seem to have a clue. The waitress at dinner was clumsy on a couple of occasions. Her appearance/dress looked like she'd just chucked on a dirty jumper and jeans!! The room was comfortable and clean but has a glass (opaqued in the middle section) partition to the shower & loo. As liberal as we are there's some aspects of our bathroom habits which we like to keep private. So a glass screen is not very pleasing! We like music, but having a pre-dinner drink in the bar was disappointing as the music was so loud we couldn't chat. Overall, the place is nice, such a shame about staffing/music issues which with a bit of training and consideration could be sorted.

    Stayed in Lady Mary's Loft on 23rd Dec with my partner. Previously stayed in a different room last year on 23rd Dec at the Oddfellows and had enjoyed it so decided to return. The main reason for booking this room was the price and the two baths. I've never stayed anywhere with two baths before. Oddfellows is also in a great location central to Chester and easy walking distance to local bars and restaurants. There is a small mini bar in the room and Nespresso machine. The WiFi in the room was great, and we were able to connect our own fire stick. The room was noisy until the music downstairs was turned off at 11 p.m., but this did not bother us. It was xmas! When we previously stayed, we had no noise problems, but the room was located in an annexe behind the hotel. Lady Marys loft is located at the top of the hotel and accessed by two flights of stairs, no lift. We were awoken the next day at 0745 by the music, but this was just an oversight by a staff member who had switched it on without realising it was at Friday night volumes. The boiler broke on the morning of our stay, and this problem was swiftly dealt with by Diane on reception. She sorted it out and called us to advise it had been done. Great customer service. We mentioned our early morning music alarm, and she was very apologetic. Really love this hotel, and staff are excellent. There are lots of different rooms, and we loved our unique stay in Lady Marys Loft. The shower is fabulous, the bed was really comfortable and the two baths are a lovely feature. We started off our Christmas break in style and would definitely return in the future.

    Great hotel and great staff. Hotel is clean and well presented, rooms are also clean, well designed and have a good level of features. We stayed in the 2 level room which was well equipped and the bed and bath were brilliant aswell as having the 2 TVs, 1 in the bedroom upstairs and 1 in the lounge area. Bar and outside seating is excellent, with heating on the cooler nights. Just a brilliant hotel in a great location that I would recommend for those staying in Chester for a few days.

    I love this place and visit often. Great place for relaxed drinks with friends in fab surroundings. Usually I'd rate 5 stars but the bar staff were a bit grumpy this time, probably just having an off day.

    Lovely place, great atmosphere. Brilliant outdoor space for drinks (we had a covered area so weather not an issue)
